Quality standards
Lab testing: every lot, independently.
Certified Pep research lipotropics are manufactured in cGMP-compliant facilities in Texas and California. Before a lot ships, it goes to Vanguard Laboratory, an independent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, for testing.
The test panel
Purity
HPLC analysis confirms the purity of the compound in the vial.
Identity
Mass spectrometry confirms the compound matches the label.
Content
Quantification confirms the vial holds the stated amount.
Sterility
The lot is screened for viable microorganisms.
Endotoxins
The lot is screened for bacterial endotoxins (LPS), which can interfere with laboratory results.
Heavy metals
Screened for arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury.
Contaminants
Screened for synthetic contaminants and adulterants.
Solubility
Confirms the compound reconstitutes cleanly.
Seal integrity
Confirms the crimp seal is intact.
Batch consistency
Vials across the lot are checked against the lot standard.
About Vanguard Laboratory
Vanguard Laboratory of Olympia, Washington is an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited testing laboratory, independent of the brands it tests.
Certified Pep’s results are published on Vanguard’s public reporting site, where anyone can search them by brand or lot number. Every vial label shows its lot number and a QR code that links to that lot’s report.
Why independent testing matters
An accredited third-party lab has no stake in the results, its accreditation is audited, and its reports are published where the seller cannot edit them. That is why Certified Pep publishes lab results through Vanguard rather than hosting its own certificates.
cGMP manufacturing
Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) is a quality framework built on documented processes, controlled facilities, trained staff and batch records. Certified Pep research lipotropics are manufactured in cGMP-compliant facilities in Texas and California.
